Assuming too much? Random thoughts on this political year

I'm going to apologize if this is double posted and I'll delete if it is.  My IE (dunno why I'm using IE) froze up.  I posted something similar in the post-debate thread.  Shaun encouraged me to give it a whirl on diaries, so here it goes (first diary here).  That said, maybe most read it and just didn't have anything to respond with, which I can respect.  I've tried to clean some things up a bit, as yesterday it was more me typing thoughts coming to my mind.  I don't have the time to make this sound really good, though, for which I apologize, and there's very little research behind it.

Quick background on me.  I'm finishing up my masters in policy, but I wouldn't say I'm a policy person.  As a kid, I thought I was a Republican.  Why?  My favorite color was red, and my favorite animal was the elephant.  Then I grew up.

I'm a HRC supporter?  Avid?  No.  Supporter?  Yes.  That said, I like Obama.  I don't understand the vitriol online.  My excitement dipped a lot when Mark Warner sat out, but understandably, he wasn't exactly a huge guy for the netroots.  In the end, I'm party first.  Gotta win to be able to bring change.  All the rhetoric in the world won't mean much unless you are in a position of power to do something about it.  Anyhow, most of my thoughts are in the extended.
